Coastal Carolina faces a critical moment in the NCAA championship series after head coach Kevin Schnall was ejected early in Game 2 against LSU.
With two outs in the bottom of the first inning, Schnall confronted home plate umpire Angel Campos and was ejected after being warned twice to return to the dugout.
"Campos twice signaled Schnall to return to the dugout then ejected him from the game," leaving the Chanticleers without their coach during an elimination game.
The ejection carries a significant penalty: Schnall will serve a two-game suspension, meaning he will miss any potential Game 3 if Coastal Carolina forces a deciding match.
"Per NCAA rules Schnall receives a two-game suspension," complicating the team's strategy moving forward.
The incident occurred with Coastal Carolina threatening to score, as Sebastian Alexander had just stolen second base on a first pitch strike, with the game tied 0-0.
The Chanticleers must win Game 2 to extend the series to a decisive third game on Monday and keep alive their pursuit of a second national championship in 10 years.
"Coastal Carolina needs a victory to push the MCWS final to a decisive third game on Monday and continue the Chanticleers' pursuit of its second national championship in 10 seasons," recalling their 2016 Men's College World Series title.
The team now faces the challenge of competing without their head coach on the sidelines during this critical stretch, testing their resilience and depth as they aim to capture another NCAA crown.
